Up next, the Klinkhamer. I'll do a dozen standard like this, a few hi-viz post, a few all black with hi-viz post, and I'm also going to try black posts this year for visibility in high glare.

How?

Get the Redington CT. Go to a local fly shop if possible, they'll recommend a good inexpensive reel & decent line. This is a rod you won't immediately want to upgrade out of as you learn (vs. the others you listed)

A brook trout in a fishing net

Success from the Guides' Choice Hares Ear tonight. Amazed how well a sz 14 klink works as an indicator and can easily float a weighted & beaded sz 16 nymph.

This was the first year I tied klinkhammers for my dry box.
Glad to find that they work!

First trout of the year, on a brook I hadn't fished before today. 15 days earlier than my first trout last year. Took a sz 14 prince nymph tied this winter.

Very cool to see one of my local fly shops, Tied by Night, featured by Flylords in this video. Roland is a local legend. Even seems like he tidied up the shop for this video!

Ahhh I see. I really like the cam style. Makes it easier to adjust during tying, like flipping a parachute fly sideways, etc.

Where are you seeing the new traveler with a screw jaw? I read the only difference was a wider base and the material clip coming included.

Ok, what's everyone's fav online #flyfishing retailer that's offering that SA 2-for-1 deal?

I've always wondered, why use dry fly hackle for this style of hopper? It's supposed to imitate legs, which soft hackle would do IN & on the water and without changing the floating angle of the fly.

Reading @davidrcoggins.bsky.social "The Optimist" and it's the first time I've heard someone other than my own father wax poetic about Snyder's of Hanover brown box pretzels

Also notable is how the feathers are more narrow and longer

Mid-tie thought: isn't a stimulator just a really big elk hair caddis? #flytying

Realized today that the only "true" dry flies I tied this winter are Elk Hair Caddis, Para-Adams, and Stimulators ๐Ÿ‘€ Everything else is a foam hopper or an emerger.
Should I tie up any other "true" dries?

Stepping out of my comfort zone to spin some deer hair for bass flies. This is as close as I have come so far to a presentable Taps Bug
